  • Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) support

You'll collaborate with clients and service teams, maintain accurate documentation, apply evidence‑based practices, and help individuals build independence and stability.

What We're Looking For

Requirements:

  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
  • Ability to work in community‑based environments
